One notable aspect of the HT-AX7 is its simplicity. Unlike other soundbars, it does not require room calibration. Instead, Sony’s monopolsynthesis technology assumes a standard configuration, with the rear speakers placed behind the listener and the main soundbar positioned in front, slightly below ear level. This streamlined approach ensures an enjoyable experience without the need for complex adjustments.
Sony refers to the HT-AX7 as a “portable theater system,” which accurately describes its versatility. Beyond its intended use as a soundbar and rear speakers for tablets and phones, the device offers a mono playback mode. With the Sound Field feature turned off, all three speakers play in unison, allowing users to create a party-like atmosphere by spreading them around the room. When the satellite speakers are placed on the main unit’s charging ports, the device operates as a regular Bluetooth speaker, utilizing Sony’s X-Balanced drivers and passive bass radiators for a high-quality audio experience.
The HT-AX7’s design is both stylish and environmentally conscious. Its fabric covering is made from recycled PET bottles, lending it a premium look and feel. The device comes in a sleek light gray shade, exuding a sense of sophistication.
